Chapter Ninety-Six: A Thought of Life and Death
At this moment, the Yuehua Mountain Range——
"Report to the elder, the sign of our Xuanyang Gate has been found here, it should be the place where Senior Brother He camped, and there are also traces of battle on the ground near here, according to the time, it should have been two or three days ago...... Could it be ......" A capable-looking young man respectfully reported to a middle-aged man dressed in red, after a two-day long journey, they entered the Yuehua Mountain Range, and then quickly chased to the place where the team led by He Jing had camped before, and began to explore the surroundings without caring that it was already the middle of the night.
"There are no bloodstains or corpses around here, and the traces of the battle are also controlled within a very small range, so it shouldn't be the cause of their deaths, it's more like a demonic beast that sneaked up on a certain night. As we continue to probe around, we need to know where this team moves next. The middle-aged man said calmly, there was no superfluous emotion in his words, but it set off an incomparably majestic aura. Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young man agreed repeatedly, and hurriedly ordered the other Xuanyangmen disciples to quickly survey the surroundings.
Looking at the Xuanyang Sect disciples who were busy around, the middle-aged man frowned, looked at a young man behind him, and said slowly:
"Shen Yi, have you found out?"
"Uh...... It's a little bit......" The man known as Shen Yi replied slowly, a red sphere appeared in his hand, and then split into three, turning irregularly in his hand, as if some kind of magical formation was evolving. Unlike other disciples, this Shen Yi is the personal disciple of the second elder of the Xuanyang Sect, although he is not the strongest in cultivation among all the disciples of the Xuanyang Sect, he is very good at formation arrangement and talisman carving, and he is almost a reserve member of the Elder Pavilion. The red sphere in his hand rotated again, and after a pause, Shen Yi continued to reply:
"Senior Brother He Jing is among the best among the inner disciples, so he was rewarded by the sect with a storage ring, and the seal on the storage ring was helped by me, although it is not very strong, but I can feel that the power of the seal has been forcibly broken. If it was a Warcraft, it would definitely not take away the storage ring, so it was a man-made ......"
"I think it is, with the strength of the team led by He Jing, even if it encounters a strong demonic beast, it will not be completely wiped out, so it is a human to do it, and it is normal to kill people and seize treasures. But ......" The middle-aged man said to himself, and after a short pause, a strong aura suddenly erupted on his body, which suddenly startled the surrounding Xuanyang Sect disciples, and then took a deep breath and continued to ask Shen Yi:
"Shen Yi, since you can detect that the seal has been broken, can you trace the location of the storage ring?"
"Yes, but it will take some time......"
At this moment—
"Ah...... Damn ......"
Xiao Yihan knelt on the ground weakly, his two arms supported his heavy body, the biting cold made him unconscious, and the terrifying pain made him conscious, his limbs could not move, and even breathing was extremely difficult, and the cold in his body was not controlled by himself, and he was crazy in his meridians. The reason for all this is because of that weird bead, that bead that is completely beyond my own cognition-
Xiao Yihan didn't think too much about it when he first entered Xiao Yihan's body, but when he began to use his battle qi to climb the Wanzhang cliff, he gradually noticed that something was wrong, the mysterious bead was actually gradually absorbing the battle qi in his body, from the beginning of the imperceptible subtlety, as Xiao Yihan's consumption of war qi became larger and larger, even after he climbed the Wanzhang high cliff and stopped, the abnormal movement of this mysterious bead did not disappear because of the stop running of the battle qi, but became more intense, and the battle qi became more and more out of his control, in order not to let the strange phenomenon on his body affect Bai Yanruo and Ye Chaoxiao and others, he chose to leave quickly. Originally, she planned to return to the ice chamber before and borrow the terrifying cold air there to suppress the movement of the bead, but before she could reach the ice chamber, her body could not hold on halfway, so she had to use her last strength to cut a groove in the smooth rock wall that could accommodate his figure.
"It's hard to be this time, I really have to ......"
The terrifying chill was eroding his will all the time, and also destroying his body, he clearly felt a chill spread upwards from his legs, and quickly spread to the position of his waist, at this moment, the parts below his waist have been firmly frozen into ice by the cold, and the terrifying chill has not ended - abdomen, chest, limbs, fingers, neck, in just a few minutes, Xiao Yihan's whole body has been frozen into ice except for a head. The touch all over his body was almost numb, Xiao Yihan felt that he was so close to death for the first time, and the last trace of consciousness he was holding on to finally collapsed, his eyes were dark, and he was completely unconscious, and the cold air around him immediately rushed up, freezing his whole person.
"Yi Han, pick up your sword and stand up, are you worthy of being a swordsman like this?"
"Xiao Yihan, I don't allow you to slump there, kneeling is the posture of a weakling, unless you are willing to be a weakling. ”
"Brother Yi Han, come on, you can definitely do it, I believe in you!"
"Lao Xiao, don't you look ugly and die, if you look like this, how can you be my opponent?"
"Look—"
Xiao Yihan, who originally seemed to have passed out, seemed to have heard a few faint shouts in the dark, to be exact, he heard a few familiar voices - Uncle Wuming, Dongfang Xinqiu, Sister Qing'er, and, that guy. I don't know why, it seems that it was those vaguely unpredictable sounds that gave Xiao Yihan strength, and it was he who suddenly regained consciousness and woke up. But the moment he opened his eyes, he was shocked by the scene he saw, to be exact, there was no scene, there was nothing around that could be called a 'scene', only layer after layer of thick darkness wrapped Xiao Yihan, he couldn't see, he couldn't hear, and even the slightest fluctuation of battle qi around him couldn't be reached, as if his five senses were deprived of this thick darkness.
"Wait, this is- that bead!?"
Xiao Yihan was hesitating in the terrifying darkness around him, and suddenly saw that in the depths of this deep darkness, there was an ice-blue light flashing, flying towards the place where he was at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, it was at this time that Xiao Yihan felt the existence of his perception, he felt a strong cold in the ice-blue flash, and he subconsciously remembered something in his mind, that is, the bead that was so weird that it was beyond his cognition!
The bead did not fly directly into Xiao Yihan's body like last time, but stopped in front of Xiao Yihan, and immediately, the bead released a terrifying cold air, Xiao Yihan hurriedly used his battle qi to protect his body so that he was not frostbitten by the cold. After the release of that cold qi, it did not dissipate, but with the beads as the core, it gradually condensed a female figure about the same height as Xiao Yihan, with an ice blue body and two short swords, just this aura made Xiao Yihan feel extremely depressed.
"It's ...... What's that?"
